Super Typhoon Rai leaves a path of devastation and uncertainty

Residents stand amid damaged homes following Typhoon Rai in Talisay, Cebu province, central Philippines on Saturday, Dec. 18, 2021. The strong typhoon engulfed villages in floods that trapped residents on roofs, toppled trees and knocked out power in southern and central island provinces, where more than 300,000 villagers had fled to safety before the onslaught, officials said.

Rai is one of the most powerful storms to hit the southern Philippines on record. It's displaced more than 481,000 people and killed at least 375, with 500 missing.
